What's wrong with they way I'm trying to use a delay line? Tapout~ won't accept values from my float so I can't change the delay time. I originally tried using tapin~ and tapout~ with no time arguments, but I couldn't change the delay time. So I put in some time arguments, but I still cant' change the delay time. As far as I can tell, I've got my delay setup exactly the way maxhelp shows it. Am I missing something?!

Think tape delay: [tapin~] is the "length of the tape", the maximum delay you are going to need.

[tapout~] is the actual delay you want at any moment. You cannot use a delay value greater than the max value input in [tapin~].

Thanks Jean-Francois. That's a beautiful explanation, and very helpful. I must have known that at some point but forgot, because I have actually successfully used delays in the past. I'll remember now, though!
